The Life Cycle of a Koala (The Life Cycle)

This title is intended for ages 6-12. A koala lives most of its life alone, eating and sleeping high up in the eucalyptus trees of Australia, and yet it is recognised and loved around the world. This book looks at the life of this ancient marsupial and explains: how marsupials are different from other mammals; the birth of the koala and its life in its mother's pouch; the growing koala and how it feeds; life outside the pouch, but close to mother; the dangers faced by koalas.
